Mixing Sterling paints

Post by Boater45 »

Can Sterling be mixed in a 1 quart Graduated Mixing Pot? I have read on some of the threads that you "cannot". Also what is the mixing schedule to paint the hull of an OB-17?

Just don't mix it in cheap plastic picnic drinking cups like you see at a keg party. It won't last 30 seconds in one of those 8O

You also don't want to use the waxed paper measuring cups. Use the plastic ones.

For all of my Sterling mixing I use empty 1qt plastic cottage cheese containers placed on an electronic food scale. Sterling gives the weight ratios. I get the containers from a surplus supply store for about a dime a piece.
